ZN News
One of the many benefits to members of Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre is access to our house magazine ZN News. It is a quarterly publication which has been published since the Centre opened. Our aim is to be informative, educational and entertaining; in other words, “A good all-round aeronautical read, centred on Metheringham Airfield!”
The content is quite varied with many subjects drawing on the historical knowledge and investigatory skills of our contributors. In addition, we feature all the news concerning the Centre, its officers, members and projects. A regular feature is to describe the input made by our teams of volunteers and the extra-ordinary talent and wide-ranging skills they display.
Contributions from all members are very welcome both in literary and photographic forms. Many pictures published have been submitted by members and are of an exceptional quality.
ZN News can be purchased in our shop, but to ensure your regular receipt of it, we highly recommend you take out a MAVC membership. Rod Sanders – Editor ZN News
